history
The community was first mentioned in 1030 as Martindorf . In 1178 the abbot of the Pforta monastery bought 18 hoof goods from the place with all accessories. Later, the monastery also acquired the manorial lordship over the remaining goods in the place. In 1353 Heinrich von Busleben sold his possessions at Mertendorf and Punkewitz with all jurisdiction to the Pforta monastery . After the secularization of the Pforta monastery in 1540, Mertendorf and the neighboring town of Punkewitz belonged to the Pforta educational authority as an exclave from 1543 to 1815 . However, the two exclave locations had to pay their tax shock to the administrative office of Weißenfels . In the 18th century, lignite was discovered in the area around Mertendorf.
By the resolutions of the Vienna Congress Mertendorf came to Prussia and in 1816 the county Naumburg in the administrative district of Merseburg of the Province of Saxony assigned to the part of the site to the 1944th The exact dates of incorporation from Punkewitz and Wetterscheidt to Mertendorf are unknown, but they happened before 1950.
On July 1, 1950, the previously independent community Scheiplitz was incorporated. The place was reclassified to Görschen on January 1, 1963.
On January 1, 2010, the previously independent communities of Mertendorf (with the districts of Punkewitz and Wetterscheidt), Löbitz (with the districts of Utenbach , Cauerwitz and Seiselitz ) and Görschen (with the districts of Droitzen, Rathewitz and Scheiplitz) merged to form the new municipality of Mertendorf.
